Thanks Keith, I used rapid epoxy glue for the roof parts (not for the plastic to plastic) and CA Gel for the side panels. -
Thank you Eberhard. Roof is from tree seperate sheets glued on top of another. I only shaped the edges by sanding before joining.

Bridge deck is made of 1 mm plywood, 0,5 mm pear strips (top) and 1 mm pear strips (underside). Adjusted the bridge supports and installed brass tubes as bushings in the deck and in the handrail Some part of the stanchions have 2 rails and some part of them have 3 rails. I modified the stanchions because the 2 rails and 3 rails did not have the same height. 3 rail stanchions were higher. I sanded down the bulges at the bottom flash and made a new one. I also sanded down the bulges for the rails as they are too bold.

I made the portholes of brass tubes which fits exactly to the tubes at the hull. I filled them with epoxy and glued with Revel Contacta Clear.

That's great. Thank you very much. A big relief for me. This ambiguous question was a bother for me. 👍

I'm going slowly on. Glued the rail made of 1mm pear strip and planked the forecastle.

Thanks Keith, I did use a fine nosed plier, bend the brass wire around 0.5mm drill and pressed tight, cut again with a fine side cutter. I wish you a happy new year.
